In the previous life, within the Central African Republic, lay the Azande Plateau.
Mbre was a fortress built to fit the terrain. It looked crude, casually piled together from stones, but passing through this place was no easy task. It might not achieve the feat of one man barring the pass against ten thousand, but stationing a platoon there was entirely feasible. If a few machine guns were set up, perhaps seventy percent of African countries in the previous life would have been unable to get through.
This was a military outpost built by the East African Northern Army. Now, a great crowd of African natives was passing through with their belongings.
Compared with the Southern Army, the Northern Army's theater of war was exceptionally lively. The Northern Army had passed through southern South Sudan and the Azande Plateau.
The Azande Plateau lay in central Africa, between the Congo Basin, Chad Basin, and upper Nile River basin, serving as the watershed of all three. At the heart of the plateau stood an east-west ridge over eight hundred kilometers long, with numerous mountain passes formed along it, making it a vital north-south transportation route.
The Central African Republic, which had occupied this area in the previous life, truly lived up to its name. If Africa's internal economy had been developed, Central Africa could at least have earned the title of Africa's crossroads. Even setting aside its economic value, the Azande Plateau possessed tremendous military importance. From here, one could directly threaten East Africa and West Africa, the two regions with the finest agricultural conditions in Africa.
The Azande Plateau itself was not poorly endowed either. Its temperature and rainfall were slightly higher than East Africa's. If Ernst had to place it somewhere, it was roughly comparable to the Nanyang Basin.
